Former World’s Best Player Cannavaro Sentenced To 10 Months In Prison

FIFA World Player of the Year (2006), Fabio Cannavaro has been sentenced to 10 months in prison for breaching orders to keep out of his home after it was seized by authorities.

His home was seized after he was accused of tax evasion. The authorities claim he owes over €1m in unpaid taxes. He was arrested after he was caught going for a swim at his home’s swimming pool with his wife and brother after breaking the lock authorities had used to lock his home. His brother and wife were also given custodial sentences.

All three have appealed and will therefore have their sentences suspended until a final judgment is made.
